Black Friday is just around the corner. If you love cats but don't want to wrestle with the throngs at Walmart, how about patronizing crafters who put love and care into everything they make? To that end, we've put together some Etsy shops that cat lovers should favorite.

Let's start off with Thanksgiving Cat Toys!

Stuffed with organic catnip, your cat can gnaw on her own drumsticks without begging for yours! Find 'em at Feline Fun.

Wrapt Cats is the go-to shop for sheep's wool throws, beds and toys for your cat. Each is hand-crafted with love in the memory of Jesse who was born a barn cat and grew to be a once-in-a-lifetime feline companion. Jesse loved sleeping on wool sweaters, thus the inspiration for this cozy line.

Messymai produces art prints and other designs, most of which feature cats. The print above features a cat only tangentially, but it cracks me up, so I put it in. Here's one of her cat brooches:

It’s Tuxie vs. Tabby on London’s Downing St. as Larry–the cat who runs the UK–protects the sanctity of the Prime Minister’s office from Palmerston, the tuxie who runs the Foreign Office down the street.
An earlier kerfuffle left Larry with a hurty paw, but he got Palmerston back, getting a swath of fur from between the black cat’s shoulders.
Palmerston has been putting the moves on Larry’s turf, hanging out at the doorstep to #10 Downing St. He took it a step further on the 26th, sneaking into the Prime Minister’s residence before being evicted by the doorman.
People have been picking sides, tweeting their preferred cat with the hashtag #teamlarry or #teampalmerston. Who’s team are you on?

Would you believe me if I promised that within 12 hours your home would no longer smell like a Crazy Cat Lady’s? Would you turn your nose up at $10 off this miracle product?
With the CritterZone, visitors to your house will wonder if you’ve gotten rid of your cats. It eliminates ALL ODORS. Period. No more cat pee smells, stale litter box odors — nuthin! Even gets rid of the fish-fry smell after your Lenten Friday dinners. They should be required by law in all rest homes.
When I first heard Bill Converse, the inventor of CritterZone, interviewed on the Pets Teach Us So Much radio show, I knew I had to get one. Immediately. The hosts of the show, Robbin and Joseph Everett, had tried one and described on-air what a miracle worker it was in removing stale dog smells from their home.
As luck would have it, I got to meet Bill myself last week, and he demonstrated the science behind the 30 years of development that went into the CritterZone. Something about tornados. The details don’t matter. All you need to know is that it works quickly and quite spectacularly in removing every single stink molecule and stale air atom in your home. (Here are the details if you really need to know the science behind it:)

Set it and forget it

Each unit is about the size of large battery charger and covers about 800 square feet. Just plug it into the wall and let in run overnight. The next morning you’ll find your room smells fresh as a Spring meadow. After the first night, I knew we had to get units to run throughout the house.
You can also use it to remove smells on upholstery. Just sprinkle the spot with water and lay the CritterZone unit on top of it and let it run. It not only removes the odor, but removes the chemicals that make your pet want to mark and re-mark their favorite pee spots.

Hubby was dubious; Now he’s a believer

When I told hubby about the CritterZone, he thought it was just another as-seen-on-tv type of gimmick designed to separate Crazy Cat Ladies from their money. I plugged it in to the wall in our cat’s bedroom. The room is closed off every night, and even when Mao hasn’t decided to, say, pee into the heating vent, it always smells stale and faintly litter-boxy. When Mao’s been a busy boy, it reeks.
The next morning, hubby could not believe what he smelled: NOTHING!

Removes ALL odors, not just pet odors.

Also removes germs and allergens

Costs about a penny a day to run.

No filters to change.

Comes in corded or wall-unit styles, and an auto-adaptor is available

In the last six months, hubs and I have been drowning immersed in home reno projects. Most recently, we moved living and family room furniture out of storage into our newly carpeted and painted downstairs.
The leather furniture is immune from cat scratching, something at which I’ve always rather marveled. But the dark blue upholstered furniture seems to have “Scratch the living crap out of me” signs on it, visible only in the feline vision spectrum. And of course, it’s also a magnetic vortex for white cat hair.
At a recent yard sale, we parted with our big cat towers that had seen better days, replacing them with a lovely tree I won in a Facebook giveaway from Molly and Friends. But since my boys prefer to scratch horizontal surfaces (like the top of the arms of the sofa), I wanted to provide them with additional scratching structures that would divert their attention from the siren call of the furniture. Our vibe is modern, and hubs is insistent that I steer clear of Crazy Cat Lady motifs.
So, as I was pondering the “Catification“of our living spaces, I was contacted by Papercut Labs, asking if I’d like to review their modular Katris line of cat furniture. I could not respond YESYESYES fast enough.
One day last week, the hubs reported that there were a bunch of boxes for me on the front porch. Katris had arrived! I excitedly brought them in and unpacked them, with Banzai providing much-needed snoopervision.
(Let me just say: the boxes the Katris modules were packed in are the very best quality high-ply packing boxes I’ve ever encountered. You can stand on them and they won’t crumple. And honestly, Banzai and Buckaroo thought the boxes the Katrises were packed in were even better than the modules themselves.)
Hubby was coming downstairs when he heard me unpacking, and he asked, “More cat crap from the interwebs?” (direct quote). Then he turned the corner, saw the partially-assembled Katris sculpture and said, “WOW! That’s not crap! What is that??” (direct quote). I explained that you could assemble it like Legos into any configuration imaginable. The architect within him elbowed me aside and took over.
The cats played in the packing boxes while we played with the Katris modules. We favored a cantilevered Fallingwater-esque design. The stacked modules are stablized with snap-on plastic clips to keep them from shifting.
Each module comes with a couple of clips and a dime bag of premium nip as an attractant. Buckaroo and Banzai didn’t need much attracting. They were all over it. Buckaroo especially liked using it as an observation perch, while Banzai preferred climbing to the top and leaping down on top of an unsuspecting Buckaroo.
I placed a spool of twine on the top level, and Buckaroo and Banzai had a great time playing a multi-tiered string game.
The modules are made of high-quality compressed cardboard. Lest you think it’s the same stuff from which the typical horizontal cardboard scratcher is made, rest assured, it’s not. It’s heavyweight compressed board that I expect will withstand a lot of shredding. Once assembled, the structure is solid and heavy. Each module weighs about 9 lbs.
We ultimately decided to position ours in an empty corner, which perfectly solved a decorating quandry and provided the Katris with a stable base that will withstand a whole lot of raucous play.
Katrisis available through Amazon (and is Prime eligible).

KATRIS PROS:

Cats LOVE it, especially climbers

They loved the great boxes it’s shipped in even more

Lego-loving creative cat owners love building it

Infinite configuration pawsibilities

Sleek modern design doubles as sculpture

5 shapes from which to choose

Replace or add on modules as you like

KATRIS CONS:

Not for supersized cats. At 8 inches, the modules are too narrow for Tripper, our 24-lb behemouth. Would love to see a version with 12-inch wide (or even wider!) modules. At about 14 lbs, Buckaroo is about as large a cat as would be comfortable on it.

A couple of the clips would not clip; they just slipped off.( We easily MacGyvered around it.)

THE FINE PRINT: Papercut Lab provided Mousebreath with a 5-module Katris sample to review at no cost to Mousebreath. Our opinions are solely based upon our experience with the product, and we never recommend anything our cats don’t give the paws-up to.

Cat Watch 2014 is the second Horizon cat experiment in the U.K. It documents the behavior of cats when they think we’re not watching. It’s a followup to last year’s experiment, The Secret Life of Cats, that attached GPS trackers and cat cams to 50 cats in a Surrey village, then followed their activity.
This year, the investigation has been expanded. In Cat Watch 2014 they followed 100 cats in different locations in Sussex over three nights. It included city, coastal village and rural farm areas.

Are Cats Antisocial?

Cat Watch noted that many of the Brighton cats rarely left their homes during the course of a day, but they attributed it to a cat’s natural antisocial behavior — not wanting to encounter other cats. Trackers showed that cats who lived in rural areas with lesser cat density would roam up to two miles a day. Cat Watch concluded that this was because they didn’t have to worry about bumping into other cats.
I really have to question this tidy cause-and-effect conclusion, and not just because cat mind-reading technology is not yet ready for primetime. Rural cats may spend more time hunting prey and to that end, may wander further. Urban cats may not be comfortable with all the sights and sounds of city bustle and keep closer to familiar ground.
Yes, cats are less likely to wander further in high cat density areas, but not specifically because they’re anti-social (which I don’t buy), but because they respect the territory of other cats. The higher the density of the cat population, the less territory available for claiming. There is a difference between being anti-social and being territorial.

Cats Can’t Stand Other Cats?

According to Cat Watch 2014, cats are solitary creature and can’t stand other cats. Animal shelters often insist that kittens are homed in pairs, but the Cat Watch experts believe that this is fraught with peril since cats who aren’t related can rarely tolerate each other.
It’s a bunch of hooey to classify all cats as solitary creatures. In the wild, lions live in prides and adult male cheetahs live in pairs. Feral cats live in colonies. Many cat households have multiple cats living in harmony. Anyone who’s worked in an animal rescue or shelter knows that yes, some cats are solitary and detest other cats, but many more cats enjoy company, and bonded pairs are common, whether littermates or not.

Kittens Should Not be Adopted in Pairs?

Animal shelters do often insist that kittens be homed in pairs (or adopted into a home with an existing kitten or energetic young cat) to ensure adoption success. If a cat owner is away from the home all day at work, a young kitten can get into a hundred kinds of trouble while seeking stimulation and play. Another kitten keeps him occupied, and incidents of destructive behavior in the name of play are greatly reduced.
Those who have not owned kittens before can greatly underestimate the level of interaction the young’un requires, and may return him to the shelter — unfortunately at a point when the kitten is no longer in the cute kitten stage and adopting is more difficult (especially when potential adopters learn of the unsuccessul adoption). Pairing kittens usually ensures adoption success, and shelters/rescues take care to make sure the pair is a harmonious coupling. It’s irresponsible of Cat Watch to suggest that cats who aren’t related can barely tolerate each other. I’ve had and observed cats since I was a kid in the Pleistocene era, and most of my cats were bonded with a buddy.
Like anything else, there are exceptions. Some cats are loners; some take a dislike to a single cat in the household. Usually, helping the cats establish individual territories and have positive associations with interaction time (and lots of Feliway) can help establish harmony. The cats may never be best friends, but they’re no longer a danger to each other or the owner.

Cats Dart and Sniff When Faced with Change?

The series’s big “revelation” is that when cats appear to misbehave for their own amusement, they’re actually stressed, and that source of stress is usually the presence of other cats and change in the environment. Cat Watch says that if they’re darting around and sniffing things, urinating where they’re not supposed to and generally behaving erratically, it’s almost always because something in their environment has changed and their sense of security has been compromised.
In theory, that sounds good and is sometimes true. But it’s a narrow view.
Yes, change is difficult for many cats to accept. I learned this when Mr Tasty Face moved in with me eons ago, and one of my cats proceeded to pee on every single piece of his expensive furniture. She’d also poop on beds in the guest bedroom when we had guests. (Not such a bad thing, really, in hindsight. Kept the number of visitors down.) However, this behavior probably was related more to territory issues than change or the presence of other cats.
And HELLO! Cats by their very nature dart around and sniff things. Many cats are obsessed with sniffing out their environments. What appears to be erratic behavior may just be a cat being a cat. If they’re peeing where they’re not supposed to, it is far more likely that the litter box needs flushing, the cat is suffering from a UTI or blockage, or they don’t like the type of cat litter (especially if it is perfumed) or location of the litter box.

Cats Want You to Leave Them Alone?

Cat Watch had good suggestions for helping cats acclimate to change — for example, when you move. But they also recommend that you just leave these antisocial creatures alone. That made me GRRRRR! A cat is more likely to suffer from behavioral problems when starved of attention and stimulation. “Shy” cats are often brought out of their shells only after being showered with attention that builds their confidence. Leaving a cat “alone” borders on abuse.
Yes, cat overpopulation is a problem that will not soon be resolved, and it does create a problem for many cats, both domestic and feral. But it is irresponsible to propagate the myth that all cats are anti-social, detest other cats, and aren’t too wild about humans, either. It’s on par with saying that cats suck the breath from baby’s mouths.
In the U.K.? You can watch The New Horizon Cat Experiment tonight on BBC Two at 8.00pm. But if you’re a cat lover, it will put you in danger of having a stroke from all the misinformation.

If you follow me on Facebook, you know we’ve been going through an epic house reno project. It started simply enough– I just wanted to pull down the wallpaper and paint. Which turned into new carpet and new closet, and geez, all that drywall that needed to be sanded a squillion times.
Many layers of paint later, Mr TF discovers he has paint in his hair. I, wearing a stylish pink camo Eukanuba cap, do not. Looking online for ways to remove latex paint from hair, we ran across the suggestion that a lice comb be used. Neither of us wanted to be caught buying a lice comb, and then I thought — why not use a FURminator?
So I FURminated the hubster in the shower. All paint flecks appear to be gone. And he thought it was kinda sexy having me groom him. So the next time you get paint in your hair, reach for a flea comb or FURminator rather than scissors or terpentine. And who knows? You might rid him of a flea or two in the process!
A couple of caveats: this is latex paint, not an oil-based variety. And if it doesn’t work, well hubby was due for a haircut anyway, right?

When a pet food company launches new lines of cat food and dog food, what goes on behind the scenes?

“What Do Cat Owners Want in a Cat Food?”

Recently, Hill’s Nutrition launched its Ideal Balance line of natural pet food. One of the first steps in the development cycle was to find out what cat owners wanted–and didn’t want–in their cat food. It’s no surprise to learn that cats and cat owners want meat, but perhaps more importantly, they don’t want corn, soy, wheat, artificial flavors or preservatives in their cat food.

Make it Nutritious AND Nom-ilicious

So Hill’s started with these consumer preferences, and put their nutritionists to work developing cat food precisely balanced for nutrition, yet nom-ilicious as well.
Hill’s Ideal Balance has meat as its first ingredient, and as cat owners requested, you won’t find corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors, flavors or preservatives on the ingredient label. What you will find are healthy additives like apples, cranberries, and brown rice.

Cats Can Try it for Free

OK, I know what you’re thinking: Anything that healthy cannot pawsibly be something my finicky cat would be interested in eating.
That’s what I thought, too. It’s like me trying to decide between Cheetos and kale.
Let’s face it, no matter how healthy a cat food is, if your cat won’t eat it, all the nutrition in the world won’t do your cat any good.
I can’t promise you your cat will eat Ideal Balance, but I can tell you that Buckaroo, Tripper and Mao couldn’t wolf it down fast enough. One would expect Trip to wolf it down, but Mao is ailing and hasn’t had much of an appetite lately. He nearly inhaled Ideal Balance. I was sold.
But don’t take my–or Mao’s– word for it. Hill’s is offering an Ideal Balance rebate offerso you can try it free.

Get the Word Out

Once the food was developed and Hill’s was convinced cats love it and thrive on it, the next step was to get the word out, which they did with some lush commercials and innovative packaging that reflect the high quality of the cat food and the innovation that went in to formulating it.
The commercials blend real, natural elements like grass and gravel with stylized landscape animations. Combined, the two layers work seamlessly with live-action footage of pets, injecting the cat into the Ideal Balance world that showcases the food’s true potential.
In this “Making of…” video, you can see the magic that goes on behind the scenes of a cat food TV commercial:

Make it Easy to Purchase

Like other Hill’s products, you can find Hill’s Ideal Balance Cat Food at your local veterinary clinic–but conveniently, you can also buy it online or at a pet store near you.
